Free Sword Bookmark

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on October 11, 2026. Posted in Featured, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 6 Comments on Free Sword Bookmark

My husband is laughing at me because I’m thinking of all the people I want to give swords. Not real swords. Paper swords. Free Sword Bookmarks. You know them as knife bookmarks. They are now called Sword Bookmarks (an edit in real-time in public–yikes!) Some of y’all already know about this because you get my newsletter. To...

A Knife Bookmark

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on October 7, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 6 Comments on A Knife Bookmark

So I was fiddling around this morning thinking about the novel and Halloween. Last night, I realized I should have geared up to promote the novel during October. Spooky month, you know, for a murderous novel. The three grannies each have a preferred weapon. Surely I could make a bookmark out of one of those. A knife bookmark, perhaps. But...

A Reading

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on August 22, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 8 Comments on A Reading

Call me ridiculous. I just drove 45 minutes—45 minutes to and from—to participate in a reading. I was one of nine authors. The reading was at a local library. I had 13 minutes to read. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. In fact, when the facilitator was reading my bio, I thought, Ellen, why don’t you tell the truth? Skip the...

Decatur Book Festival!

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on August 21, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 4 Comments on Decatur Book Festival!

Y’all, I’m going to the Decatur Book Festival! I’m so excited. The festival takes place right outside of Atlanta. I know, the Falcons. Not good for a Saints fan. But take a look at the lineup of authors. It’s really fabulous. I’ll be on a panel with another writer who uses her family in her writing–more...

Time Musings

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on June 29, 2026. Posted in Featured, General. No Comments on Time Musings

I’m such a slouch blogger. I let time drift by and say nothing. Ideas flit into my brain, but no typing on the keyboard, and the ideas flit right back out. Plus, there’s the cloud floating t the back of my brain, whispering, You need to write about the book. Tell them what people are saying. Let them know readers are REALLY enjoying...

In the “Movies”

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on June 24, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 11 Comments on In the “Movies”

I expect I’ve mentioned here how hard it is for me to see photos of myself. Traditionally, it’s been even harder for me to watch film of myself. “Movies,” as they say, rather than still photographs. Recently, I appeared on the Earle Farrell 4Memphis Show. My husband was there during the interview. He said I did a good...

The Magic of the Book Launch

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on April 6, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 10 Comments on The Magic of the Book Launch

It wasn’t an accident, the magic of the book launch. I thought long and hard about what would feel like a success to me. After I did a guest reading at a coffeehouse in December in Ocean Springs, I knew I wanted it at a coffeehouse. Also, I wanted other authors joining me—at that reading, we had about eight writers reading. The...

The Book

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 20, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 13 Comments on The Book

Mile markers exist in the book publishing business. Marketing manuals contain these lists so authors won’t miss them. You’ll also see them in the wild. I’ve sold my book! My cover reveal! The books have arrived–watch me open the box! There’s a reason for these milestones. They make chronological and narrative...

Writing a New Orleans Story

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 14, 2026. Posted in General. 2 Comments on Writing a New Orleans Story

When people ask, “Where are you from?” I answer, “Mississippi.” After all, my pregnant mother traveled from Denver to Jackson to give birth to me ’cause she wanted me to be from Mississippi. I have now lived in New Orleans for 14 years; nine years part-time, six years as a resident. Even so, I will never feel...
